40 Best African American Wigs – 2018

Sometimes you don’t have to bother yourself with salons and all those complicated natural hairstyles which require too much time to maintain and style. A wig is the best option for you because it does not require too much work yet most of them look exactly like natural hair. The other advantage of wearing wigs / weaves – is flexibility / ability to change hairstyle overnight.

For example, a glueless wig can be changed / get replaced by a new wig style any time. This is a good option for women who prefer having new looks every day / week. In this detailed review for African American Wigs, I have featured all top rated styles and well-known brands like Vivica Fox, Motown Tress, Sherri Shepherd and so much more. In total; you can choose from 50 wigs and use the ”Buy it” link to go to a store selling that wig.

In position 1 we have Feathered Pixie wig by Sherri Shepherd NOW. This is one of the best short wig hairstyle for black women. It looks good on all face shapes but you need to keep it moist all day long so that it keeps its smooth and shinny texture. Due to its short length, ladies who want to look younger can opt for it but make sure you buy the right size for your head. It has volumized layers which make it look natural yet it is a pixie cut synthetic wig. It has a basic top which offers support to the base and at the same-time it adds lift at the root. It has been well curved and styled, so you shouldn’t worry about that.

On the other hand, it has a bang which is swept to the sides, however, since it is just a wig, the bang might not fit very well with your fore head. In that case, you should go to a hairstylist so that they trim the bang according to the size & shape of your head.

OPEN WEFTS:- Many black ladies complain about excessive heat when they wear wigs. True some wigs are not of high quality that is to why you get such issues. But this Feathered Pixie has open wafts which allow air circulation with-in the wig hence keeping your head cool all the time. Actually you might even forget that you’re wearing a synthetic wig.

In position 2 we have a glamorous Afro Full lace wig. It is 100% human hair with 16 inches so it can look good on women with small long faces . I love curled Afro wigs because they change your looks totally. By default the wig comes in black which is a primary colors (it looks good on anyone) however, you can as well choose from many other colors to get a perfect match with your skin tone. From today; having curly hair should not be a pain, no need of using curling irons and wasting to much time taking care of natural frizzy curls. A human hair lace wig will look 100% like your real hair and no one will tell it’s a wig yet you can switch from curly to straight any time you want. At the moment is priced as $255.19.

In position 3 we have an Ombre Lace Wig for Black Women by Sherri Shepherd NOW. I have to admit this wig looks fabulous and so natural. If you have been struggling growing long thick hair, struggle no more. This Casual Curl wig by Sherri Shepherd NOW is perfect for every woman. Turning natural hair to an Ombre color will require you to mix different tones / dye. Yet buying a custom ombre wig will save you all troubles of hair bleaching. Now not only will you escape from hair bleaching but at the same time you will not expose your natural hair to that excessive heat produced by a curling iron. Save both time and money and opt for this thick curly ombre wig.

Wow, this is a glamorous straight bob lace wig for black women. I just love its smooth texture and that front bang. Black women with round face shapes, this is the right wig for you because sums up that round fat face very well and the bang will give you a new face shape. I have girl friends with this type of wig and the only thing they do is spray it in the morning, brush it straight and that is it;unlike natural straight bobs which require regular hair trimming and flattening. I don’t if I’m just in love with the lady in the picture above or the wig its self. Choose the right size for your head and have your hairstylist trim that front bang very well.

In the picture above we have Naomi Glueless Cap Human hair straight Wig. Black women find it difficult to grow long thick hair so the best solution is to opt for a classy straight wig like the one Noami she’s wearing. This wig will blend with your natural hair very well and it does not require too much maintenance like natural straight hair. It cap comes it two basic sizes. Size 1 has a circumference of 21.5″/22″ and the front nape is 14. Size 2 has a circumference of 22.5″/23″ and a front nape of 14.5. If all seems difficult to digest, go to your hairstylist and ask them for the real size to buy. It has a smooth hair texture which looks exactly like real hair but make sure you spray it regularly to keep that natural look.At the moment it is priced at $259.99 but you can check with the store for the current price.

I’m sure you like to look like a celebrity but this straight hairstyle might be easy to get with natural hair because it will require you to grow that short / medium black hair long and the process & products you have to use grow hair long might cost you a fortune and the time frame of growing short hair long is quite long. So in this case, you can opt for this natural color silky straight Brazilian virgin hair top lace wig. If you look at the picture featured above you can see how it blends with natural hair so no one will easily tell that you’re wearing a Brazilian wig. It comes in different lengths but each length has its own price. The longer the wig the more expensive it is. So if you have a limited budget you can opt for a shoulder length wig. I have checked out colors but you can only get it in 4 colors and these include; Light Brown, Medium Brown, Dark Brown and Transparent.

If you love curly hair, try out this Curly Lace Front African American Wig. I looks quite natural, frizzy and thick so you have to spray it well so that it retains that shiny texture. Curly wigs don’t get frizzy very fast like natural curls because they depend on artificial supplements like; curly hair sprays” yet natural curls will depend mostly on a oily scalp. Hair material for this wig is 100% Indian Remy and the texture is curly. It is categorized as a short wig so if you love medium curled hair, this is the best selection I have found. When it comes to colors, you might opt for black because it looks good on everyone or choose from other shades like; Brown, Blonde, Mixed shades and Funky shades.

I will dedicate this choice to mature black women. Also young girls can opt for this style but it might make you look older, so if that is your intention, then I have no reason of stopping you. Eden Wig by Vivica Fox has a smooth straight top and a wavy bottom. Other features which describe this wig properly include; a feathered side, back cut which features a side skin and a pure stretch cap construction. Now this is the kind of wig you should wear if you’re growing that short hair long because its side skin part construction creates space for natural hair to grow freely. To look stylish, sweep the front bang to the sides just like the lady in the photo above did.

African American Bobbi Boss Wigs

Dramatically change your looks with this Bobbi Boss short wavy wig. I love the thick waves, those are very hard to make in natural short hair and at the same time they are difficult to maintain. But this Bobbi Boss Wig is very easy to maintain and its waves will always look natural and styled. All you have to do is to keep it moist so that it retains its smooth texture just like natural hair. The price of this Wig has been reduced to $23.95 so every woman can afford it. If you love short hair, you can buy different short wigs and alternate them every now-and then to get new looks. This Wig is made of high quality fibers which look exactly like natural hair. It is a very comfortable wig to wear, so there is no need of using glue or tape.

African American Motown Tress Wigs

The main reason why I love Motown Tress Wigs is because they look 100% natural and they have a very soft material which does not hold too much heat. Have a clear look at H-SADA wig by Motown Tress. It is a short smooth wig shaped in form of a short bob cut. This is a very nice hairstyle for both young and mature women.

Some special features on this wig include; Cap design which is cool and comfortable – allowing air circulation (2) 100% Human Hair.

Blonde African American Human Hair Wigs

I have to admit I can wear a blonde short wig because I have a dark skin but ladies with light skins, look nice with blonde wigs / hairstyles. I just love this pixie cut wig. It has a bang which you can sweep to both sides to hide some section of your fore head. Blonde wigs can get dirty easily so you have to keep them in a clean dirt-free space. To keep it smooth and nice looking, spray it with a blonde hair spray and brush it well. If the front bang does not seem perfect on your face, go to hairstylist and have them trim it well so that it compliments your face as required.

I have not featured lots of Wigs from Outre Velvet because they’re not so many of them out there which makes comparison very difficult. However, this shoulder length thick 100% Remi Human Hair is unresistantable. Okay people will know it is not your hair because it is not easy for African American Women to grow such thick long hair, but what-ever the case, everyone will comment on your fabulous looks and I’m sure that is what you want. It is a suitable wig for ladies with oval / diamond and heart face shapes. You can get it in 3 colors only ”Black, Brown and Ombre”.

This is an exclusive sugar brown human hair style mixed wig. It is designed to last for long and it can withstand all heated hair-styling products. So once it gets out of its shape, fix it back with a flat iron or any other related heated tool. It does not itch when it gets contact with scalp / skin; it is naturally soft and comfortable to wear. Hair blend wigs don’t look like real wigs because they blend very well with your natural hair and they have the same color like your natural hair. Some of the benefits of wearing this blend in lace front wig include; Flexibility, skin friendly lace, maximum comfort, no odors or irritations, Breathable fabric which improves air circulation and a very easy to cut hairline.

The only difference between this African American Full Curly Mid and the one I featured in position 2 is material & thickness. This wig is synthetic and it has a very thick volume. This type of wig will require you to use enough hair spray to make it soft and smooth. If you don’t take care of, direct sunlight will evaporate the moisture in it and make it look frizzy just like natural curly hair. Ladies with small face shapes look better with volumized curly wigs, I guess that explains why the lady in the photo above looks fabulous. If curls lose shape, you can fix them with a curling iron because the fibers used to make this wig are heat-friendly. It is a lightweight and comfortable wig which you can wear for a very long time.

Majority of black women love curly hair however, this type of hairstyle is not easy to archive. So the best option is to buy a curly wig like the one featured in the photo above. This wig has soft curls but they don’t seem to be synthetic, so if you don’t spray them well, they can get dry and frizzy very fast. It comes it two colors, brown & blonde so you can choose from any of those two colors. The synthetic fiber from which this wig is made from is heat resistant; so if some of the curls start getting lose, flatten them well and curl them again with a curling iron. This soft curly wig will give you a fresh and new look. It features a Lace Front design which makes it appear natural and at the same time makes it easy to style. If you want this wig to last for so many years, take care of it very well. Some of the things you can do include; using the right curly hair spray, placing it on a wig stand when not in use – this will preserve its style.

For ladies who love bob haircuts of medium-short wigs, this is the best choice for you. Hair stops below the chin but it does not go up-to the shoulders. I have found this type of wig ideal in summer time because it does not keep too much heat and air circulates very well below the cap. Now for the sake of the bang, majority of you will need to go to a stylist to get a custom shape for the bang basing on the shape of your face. Sweeping that bang to the side will give your face a new shape and it will dramatically upgrade your looks. This Short Bob Human Hair Wig with Mixed Colors is ideal for every for Women.
